Introducing the Boeing 787

Introducing our Boeing 787s

We launched our Boeing 787 Dreamliner on 28 October 2014. We recently started flying these fantastic aircraft from London Heathrow to New York, Newark, Los Angeles, Delhi, Shanghai and Boston. We are currently operating four 787s, and by the end of 2015, there will be nine in our fleet.

We’ll be flying our 787 to to Hong Kong from 5 July. And then we'll also be flying these aircraft to San Francisco and Johannesburg from October 2015*.
